Like far too many game-to-film adaptations, the better option is to fire up the PS5 and stay far, far away from the multiplex.

Love may hurt, but perhaps not as much as sitting through this movie.

The narrative is incoherent and the philosophical meanderings lack depth and intelligence.

Most everything about Strangeland, from the writing to the acting to the camerawork to the editing, is Grade Z in quality – not just uncomfortable and off-putting but downright incompetent.

Perhaps those familiar with the game will find enough in the way of fan service to somehow redeem this unfocused abortion of a motion picture.

A house of cards built on a bed of sand in the middle of a hurricane; it flies apart and collapses almost immediately.

It hurts to search for logic in the wreckage of a screenplay that feels like it was cut into tiny pieces and glued back together in some random order.

This was a bad movie when it was released. It is a bad movie today. And it will continue to be a bad movie long after this planet ceases to exist.

Viewed in 1984, "Blame it on Rio" was a bad movie. Viewed forty years later, the badness is overlaid by a strong creepiness factor.

Feels like a movie that never should have been made for a franchise that, having lain dormant for nine years, did not deserve a resurrection.
